BY HX)YD MACOItlFF ' London, May 7. In spite of the tremendous aviation efforts of the Germans, prompted by the entry ojt the United States into the world con' flict, and their threat to have thousands of aircraft available this spring the enemy has been unable to shake the Allied air superiority anywhere. The single seated machines, the Hannover monoplane and the Pfals biplane do nolfcompare with the latest models of French and British fighting planes. For speed in climbing, the Ger mans found the Fokker trlplane impractical and it was quickly discard ed for a new type of monoplane. While this monoplane was fast it was unreliable and was less speedy; than the wonderful French Morane. The Pflaz biplane is a little better, but it suffers continually with motor trouble. The Germans are now using a lighter machine, which carries brace of machine guns. The enemy's two aeater of the Avlatlk type la still the best machine they have. It ia speedy and capable of climbing to a great height owing to its largo spread of winga. However, the Ger-mauH are obliged to uae faster ob- Rcrvation machines than the Ainea aviators aa their single seater fighting machines are incapable of protecting (lie two seaters, as the Allied. muchincH are. The scout machines of the Allies are also uaed for guarcV duty, for,regulatlDg artillery Are jtfid for photographic work. It in also noticeable that the accuracy of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns ia falling off. This Is due to (he fact (hat many of their best aviators have been drafted for machlno gun service to replace those killed ia the recent German offenaive. HAGK 1 IN A DAV London, May 7.

BY HX)YD MACOItlFF ' London, May 7. In spite of the tremendous aviation efforts of the Germans, prompted by the entry ojt the United States into the world con' flict, and their threat to have thousands of aircraft available this spring the enemy has been unable to shake the Allied air superiority anywhere. The single seated machines, the Hannover monoplane and the Pfals biplane do nolfcompare with the latest models of French and British fighting planes. For speed in climbing, the Ger mans found the Fokker trlplane impractical and it was quickly discard ed for a new type of monoplane. While this monoplane was fast it was unreliable and was less speedy; than the wonderful French Morane. The Pflaz biplane is a little better, but it suffers continually with motor trouble. The Germans are now using a lighter machine, which carries brace of machine guns. The enemy's two aeater of the Avlatlk type la still the best machine they have. It ia speedy and capable of climbing to a great height owing to its largo spread of winga. However, the Ger-mauH are obliged to uae faster ob- Rcrvation machines than the Ainea aviators aa their single seater fighting machines are incapable of protecting (lie two seaters, as the Allied. muchincH are. The scout machines of the Allies are also uaed for guarcV duty, for,regulatlDg artillery Are jtfid for photographic work. It in also noticeable that the accuracy of the enemy's anti-aircraft guns ia falling off. This Is due to (he fact (hat many of their best aviators have been drafted for machlno gun service to replace those killed ia the recent German offenaive. HAGK 1 IN A DAV London, May 7.
